BROCKTON, Mass. -

A Holbrook man was charged Sunday after police said he attacked and robbed a Brockton man using stolen sausage links and a wrench.

According to The Enterprise, the victim told police he was riding his bike near at West Street and Forest Avenue about 8 a.m. when Michael A. Baker, whom he does not know, came up to him “and started swinging sausage links at him.”

“He said he was trying to hit him with that. The victim had no idea why,” Lt. David Dickinson said.

Baker then threw stolen meat, bread and cheese he was carrying into a nearby barrel “and began smashing the victim with a wrench,” Dickinson said.

The paper reported that the victim suffered multiple lacerations in the attack, and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. His condition was not known on Sunday.
